I rather prefer the tri-motor variant, lokks very natural - in pretty in the Air France markings, too.

Yes, yes. I second Dizzy!  :thumbsup:

Very nice!   :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I really like the single-engined variant - to me it harks back to the very early days of commercial aviation, when the pilots sat in lonely splendor in their (open) cockpits at the very top of the aircraft, whilst the passengers were cocooned within ...

The single engine variant looks very Douglas-esque with that cockpit set on top. A double canopy (bug eyes) would have been even more authentic (and weird, too), like this:

The single engined variant puts me in mind of a super-massive skyraider.
Imagine how many hardpoints one could fit under those wings.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

Or like the first Globemaster, the C-74.  :wub:
I had photographed the last one, abandoned in Turin, in the sixties. I wonder if I still have my (B/W) negatives somewhere...

Which starred in 'The Italian Job' in its time too.  :thumbsup:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

I particularly like the tri-motor  :thumbsup: It just looks so at home in those French markings  :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

I am not aware of a conversion with three radials, though.  ;)

Wasn't there a Wartime project, for lifting heavier loads over the Burma 'Hump'?
I recall a conversion article in Airfix Magazine way back (same issue that had a C-47 on floats conversion) but I don't know if it was factual or an early whif.
